Analysis:

These kind of award winning emails in various names and forms are being sent across many people. Nokia lottery is simply a hoax. Nokia does not do any kind of lottery, nor does give away large sums of money in the name of awards. Nokia TMF Award is simply a scam to attract the eager people who believe in fortune lotteries and grab their private bank details to take unfair advantage of it.

Nokia Award Company does not exist. The part of the statement ” However, if you wish to decline the receipt of your prize money, you are to notify us on time so that the opportunity will be given to another Nokia phone user.” clearly indicates that this story is nothing but a scam. Also, the Nokia TMF Award Logo used in the email is a fake one that was created online at vector-logo.net
